Open in App
Solution

Food chain refers to the sequence of events in an ecosystem, where one organism eats another and then is eaten by another organism. It starts with the primary source like the sun or hydrothermal vents where producers make food, continues with consumers or animals who eat the food, and ends with the top predator.

example:
  • Butterfly - small birds - fox
  • Carrots - rabbit - snake - eagle
  • Corn - chick - snake - man
  • Dandelions - snail - frog - bird - fox
  • Dead plants - centipede - robin
  • Decayed plants - worms - birds - eagle
  • Fruits - bats - eagles
  • Fruits - monkeys - monkey-eating eagle
